  • Sarah Aronson, host of “Grounding,” was raised by the Mendenhall Glacier in Southeast Alaska. Her connection to that glacier embodies much of the tension that season two explores between climate change and mental health. Aronson created the season two episode images for “Grounding” by rubber carving. They were adapted digitally by Lauren Korn.

    So... Where’s the snow?
    Sarah Aronson, Keely Larson
    In this episode of “Grounding,” season two, Sarah Aronson talks to Renee Lertzman and Panu Pihkala, two experts in the field of climate emotions, who offer models for processing our feelings as well as understanding why we assume people don’t care about the environment when they actually might. Aronson explores how language can be helpful in identifying what we’re feeling.
